    Help with odd wear on Dana 44 rear axle shaft retaining ring

    I pulled my axle shafts today to examine them and found one side had very odd wear on the axle bearing retaining ring. Also found small pieces of broken metal in the axle tube itself. No damage at the differential side of the axle shaft. Bearings appear fine and axles had no noise or leaks prior...

    Rusty Jeep value opinions

    Hi all! A family friend is looking to sell their 2000 TJ- manual 4.0, soft top with 44k miles and Dana 30-Front/Dana 35-Rear. Clean title and no accidents. The body is in OK shape with zero rust, but a few dings and scrapes. The frame and underside are pretty close to needing repair. The inside...

    Aftermarket IACV and MAP sensors? (05-06)

    Is the TJ picky about the IACV and the MAP sensors being OEM or do the reputable off-brands work just as well? Specifically asking about the more complicated IACV sensors on the 05-06 units. Trying to track down a rough idle/misfire and buying all OEM sensors on a 175k mile TJ adds up quickly...

    Possible to get a new window sticker?

    I have a new to me 2006 LJ. I have a modern copy of the build sheet courtesy of Jeep (although it isn't all that accurate). Is it possible to buy a replica of the original window sticker based on VIN? Unfortunately it was not retained by the original owner. Thanks!

    WTB: Wanted: H&R springs for an LJ part# 52109

    These springs have been discontinued and the companies online that say they have them in stock have all cancelled orders on me due to a lack of inventory. Looking specifically for H&R part# 52109 which are roughly +1" springs for an LJ. This is a different part number from a TJ. Would prefer...

    At what mileage does the 4.0 become unreliable?

    Long time, multiple tj owner here. We all know that the 4.0 is legendary for longevity, but at what mileage would you stop driving yours into the middle of nowhere by yourself (please don’t state that you should never wheel alone- this is a hypothetical). For the sake of discussions, let’s say...

    WTB: Will pay good money for clean, mostly stock manual LJ or LJR

    Finally made the plunge and sold my JKUR and TJ to fund a LJR. Willing to pay good money for a clean LJ or LJR. It has to be manual and I'd prefer no bright colors. If you have one and you're on the fence about selling it, don't do it! But if you do, please send me message. I'm not a dealer or...

    I prefer ZJ Canyon wheels on a TJ

    Does anybody else on here prefer the slightly lower backspacing and slightly more narrow ZJ version of the canyon wheel on the TJ vs the actual TJ canyons? I feel like they're just about the perfect wheel for a 31x10.5r15. And as an added bonus, they're usually cheaper per set! Heres my setup:

    Can you identify this skid plate? resolved

    Hi all! I recently bought a replacement skid plate for my 4.0 AX15 1997 TJ, but one of the center frame holes does not line up. Can anybody help me with what this skid fits? I was told TJ, but it definitely doesn't fit MY tj. There are no notable stampings in it. Thanks! Andrew
